Describe the main features of the policy/measure:
Realization of two editions of the magazine "Cadernos da Diversidade Cultural – Boas Práticas do MERCOSUR" that were themed by cultural policies to promote gender equality. The journal aims to produce specific material on cultural diversity and addresses two interdependent dimensions: the first is linked to the recognition and strengthening of Afrodescendant collectives, indigenous cultures, women and LGTBIQ, children, young people, the elderly and others. The second revolves around the sensitization of society in general about the cultural rights of different groups, from the perspective of gender, the federalization of public policies and interculturality as guiding criteria.
